The role of aldosterone and ideal cardiovascular health in incident cardiovascular disease: The Jackson heart study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Higher levels of ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) are associated with lower levels of aldosterone and incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the degree to which aldosterone mediates the association between ICH and CVD incidence has not been explored. Thus, we investigated the mediational role of aldosterone in the association of 5 components of ICH (cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, diet and smoking) with incident CVD and the mediational role of blood pressure (BP) and glucose in the association of aldosterone with incident CVD in a cohort of African Americans (AA). Methods: The Jackson Heart Study is a prospective cohort of AAs adults with data on CVD outcomes. Aldosterone, ICH metrics and baseline characteristics were collected at exam 1 (2000-2004). ICH score was developed by summing 5 ICH metrics (smoking, dietary intake, physical activity, BMI, and total cholesterol) and grouped into two categories (0-2 and ≥3 metrics). Incident CVD was defined as stroke, coronary heart disease, or heart failure. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to model the association of categorical ICH score with incident CVD. The R Package Results: Among 3,274 individuals (mean age: 54±12.4 years, 65% female), there were 368 cases of incident CVD over a median of 12.7 years. The risk of incident CVD was 46% lower (HR: 0.54; 95%CI 0.36, 0.80) in those with ≥3 ICH metrics at baseline compared to 0-2. Aldosterone mediated 5.4% ( Conclusion: Aldosterone partially mediates the association of ICH with incident CVD and both blood pressure and glucose partially mediate the association of aldosterone with incident CVD, emphasizing the potential importance of aldosterone and ICH in risk of CVD among AAs.
